Do we want to know what kind of parts you ordered?

euclid · Jul 18, 2006

Rear FJ60 full floater axle w/ 4.88 gears, eldorado disk brakes with PB cables,
ARB locker & 4.88 gears. 10k miles on the diff after complete rebuild.

treated longfields for the front
Front diff with 4:88's

My lockright is going in the FF in the rear. ARB in front.

Thanks again, Brian for helping me spend a bunch of $$$ I don't have. I can't wait to push the locker button!

Someone should claim SCC SHOTGUN! with Greg quick. Looks like he will go everywhere he wants to.

When are we installing?

euclid · Jul 18, 2006

I'm setting up next week. Might dive in late next week. Will keep updates here.

That's insane!
I can't wait to see you crawl with all this.

Hey Greg,

What are full-floaters (pardon my ignorance here), and why would you change out the gearing in the front diff? Wouldn't you have to change out the rear (to keep the front and rear tires at the same speed)? Sounds cool, though. Sign me up for the mod.

Full floater vs simi floater over beer next time we are together.

I'm re-gearing both diffs to 4:88.

see you have a semi floater, so when you backed your truck into the water while putting in a boat, it only kinda stayed above water. With a full floater, you would have been fine.

FastBoats74 · Jul 19, 2006

Ahh, I see. I also seem to have a semi-floater vs. full floater problem at my house, too. They say it's my diet, but I can now attribute it to wrong gearing.

Lost the parts since last friday. How do you loose a 450 lb pallat? USF Besway found a way!

But.... they found it! Leaving now to go get it! :bounce:

Update.

Got the FF broke down Wed night w/ barry's help. Thanks barry.

Tonight I was inspired. Got home from work at 6:20. By 9 I had the old SF rear axle free from the truck.

Tomorrow night, move the lockright from the SF to the FF.

Sunday, weld up the perches and bolt in the FF.

Great progress!

Movin right allong. Thanks to Brian, Heath and John for the help tonight.

I'll be mocking up the axle to get the pinion angle tomorrow and hopefully welding the perches on.

Still pleanty to do.

Thanks again for the help tonight.
